When originally came out, was AMAZING. BUT the problem is that there was HOMM2 and HOMM3... so doesn't make much sense to buy this one. It's worth $9.99 but... there is any reason to buy this and not just pick up HOMM2 instead? no :)
How to ruin a potentially great game. THIRD mission in skirmish mode: impossible to destroy the castle opponent! 5 catapult continuously firing at enemy castle, and still new towers were popping out from nowhere like magical fungi. Totally unrealistic! If castle builders could rebuild towers in 5s nobody would have ever managed to destroy a castle. I regret to have bought this even at this price :(
This is one of my favourite games of all times. I remember I played it for long hours when I was a teenager. Recently unfortunately there are very few commercial games which are turn based and have interesting fights like this one. Apart for a little shareware game I found on the net (Magic Stones from www.winterwolves.com ), there's really not much else that is: - turn based - with leveling units/avatars - with lots of different units - with lots of magic - with a general RPG character and lots of skills hope more games will come like this one in GOG. Keep up the good work!
